In 2025, festival pass prices will increase to $225 – but there’s good news! Director’s Club members pay over time AND receive 20% off their 2025 festival pass purchase. Did we mention year-round surprises, exclusive invitations, and perks? Join in June for just $30 / month (includes TWO dCFF25 passes) and experience a better way to pay. Join the Club Fancy Dance Now Streaming on Apple TV+ The wait is finally over. dCFF23 ‘Best Narrative Feature’ and 'Best Indigenous Feature’ winner Fancy Dance is now available on Apple TV+! Directed by Oklahoma Film ICON Erica Tremblay and starring OSCAR© nominee Lily Gladstone, we hope you’ll join us in streaming this moving and transformative story of love, loss, and the complex challenges faced by Indigenous women in a colonized world. Interested in catching Fancy Dance on the big screen? A limited engagement is playing at Harkins Bricktown through this weekend! Learn More And the Winners Are...

Our dedicated team of volunteers showed up and showed out in 2024, and we cannot possibly thank them enough. From assembling festival passes and setting up venues to answering questions and retrieving filmmakers as flights arrived, we’re immensely proud of this team for building an unforgettable festival experience from the ground up – and in the Oklahoma heat, no less. To our volunteer team, we truly couldn’t have done it without you. THANK YOU! Black Barbie Arrives on Netflix Last year, we were honored to host the Oklahoma premiere of Black Barbie, the untold story of the first Black Barbie and the pivotal role three trailblazing women at Mattel had in creating a doll who looked like them. The dCFF23 Special Jury: Best Documentary winner – directed by OU alumna Lagueria Davis and produced by Shonda Rhimes – just arrived on Netflix and is currently sitting at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes!
